We had to ask for another room because of the musty smell from the air conditioning causing a headache. The strong smell of marijuana when entering the motel.

I’m not a hotel snob by anyyy stretch, but it was really hard to breathe in the room. The whole room and bathroom smelled like mildew and mold. I genuinely worried for my children’s health, sleeping in that room. It was particularly bad in the bathroom and we discovered mold on the wall and in the sink. The carpet was damp. The sheets were sticky. Our shoes got wet and sticky overnight from the moisture in the room. Unrelated to the mustiness, there was a dent in the bathroom door and a tile falling off the wall.

The breakfast was adequate (we did love the waffles), but the eggs and sausage were quite cold.

Staff member was on the phone with someone on speaker phone when we arrived and didn’t hang up with them, but kept them on the line to where we felt like we were interrupting their conversation by checking in to our hotel.

Good location though! Definitely convenient and right off the highway.

the staff is very nice, this review is not about them.

I cannot recommend staying here. This was our second time and i don’t know what happened but the hotel is in decline.

the exterior doors to front are broken, the back side door doesn’t close or has a rock in it to let anyone in- so it’s not secure, anyone can get into hotel. So keep your doors fully locked.

The first room was moldy and mildew with a wet carpet- they said we couldn’t switch as no other rooms- I looked for other accommodations and called expedia because it was bad. We were stuck, so I got a dehumidifier which helped a bit. We did switch rooms on second night and that room had a toilet that overflowed and a faucet that you had to work at turning off. it did not smell like mold though - so we took it as a win. We left a day early at 9am and they said they couldn’t refund my last night because I booked with expedia (payed at property) Expedia called and spoke to manager and hopefully we get that refunded. Expedia has been helpful- I called them every day asking for help here.

I was surprised because we stayed here last year and it was fine- no issues and good stay. I hate leaving a poor review but we left early and they refused to refund our unused night.

I would avoid unless it’s just a one night and go. it’s too bad because it is a good location and has been a good hotel in the past.

Worst of all. Middle of the night a staff person opened our door. We assume to take a nap. Startled, he apologized and left immediately. Extremely unsettling.

The general manager was not very pleasant upon arrival. Asked why the light on the phone was blinking. She didn't know and didn'tknow how to fix it. Side door wasn't working. Asked her and she said that it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't. Why would they put a family of 5 above us. All they did was jump around. When I called She said that they have until 9:30. Lots of kids running up and down the hallway. My daughter had to get up really early and drive home. Didn't get much sleep. My son said the food didn't look very fresh or warm.

The carpet had a sticky stain on it. Knobs were loose and or falling off.

Used to stay there a long time ago and it was great, not anymore.

The room smelled of mildew and mold. Strongly smelled of mildew and mold. I kept the window open all night on a first floor unit. The sink and shower drains were clogged. The water was ankle deep in the shower when I finished my shower. The shower had not drained by the time I finished breakfast and even when I checked out. The side outside door by my room would not lock. Between the open door and the open window, I didn’t feel safe. The breakfast food kept running out and it wasn’t that busy; staff was inattentive.

I’ve stayed in more than three dozen different motels/hotels this past year. This was, overall, the absolute worst. I could hardly wait to get out. I’ve had weirder, but not as bad.

Would not recommend

I am not a picky traveler and have never written a bad review before but I want others to avoid my mistake. I checked into the hotel for a 2 night stay. When I entered the room, the musty odor was overpowering and the carpets, furniture, and bedding were wet with humidity. 3 hours of running the air at full speed had not removed any of the moisture from the room. Even placing a towel on the couch before sitting on it, my clothes were wet when I stood up and smelled musty. The couch, pillows, and bedding smelled moldy/musty. Bathroom smelled strongly of urine. Due to a mold allergy I was coughing and congested within 3 hours, and my eyes started burning when I walked in the room. The hallways were also musty smelling and smelled of cigarette smoke despite the hotel claiming it was 100% smoke-free. I reported my dissatisfaction to the front desk and was told that they could give me a fan. I said I was unable to stay due to a mold allergy. I told them I realized I would not get a refund for the first night, but requested a refund for the second night. They said I had to go through hotels.com to request a refund. I filed a complaint with hotels.com and they requested a refund on my behalf, which was denied by Super 8. I'm not sure how this hotel gets an 8.4 review. I would not recommend staying here.

Poor service,humid room, no compensation

It was awful . The room was so humid we couldn’t get dry and all of our clothes remained damp. We got locked out of our room and the room hadn’t been cleaned. We went to the front desk at 10 pm. No one was there. There was a sign they would be back in 10 minutes. We waited 20 and called the police. They wouldn’t do anything unless we had a child or pet locked in a room. After 30+ minutes the worker came on and insisted she had only been gone 10 minutes. A mann out her who didn’t work there said he couldn’t believe we got the”cops involved.”
Something wasn’t right. She wouldn’t give us towels until we brought the dirty ones back. Eventually she did but refused to give us wash cloths. She was so rude and insisted we had put a sign out. Never ever again! No compensation. We were there 3 nights!!

No ownership

The hotel and room were clean and nice. The only complaint we had was the rooms were not prepped for humid days. Because of the humidity, the rooms were damp, the bed was even wet and smelled bad. When we brought it up to the staff, they brushed us off not taking any ownership and just have an excuse of the humidity. We almost did not go back. However we did not want to lose our money. We turned up the air conditioner and the 2nd day was a little better. Other hotels in the area did not have this problem so why just this one. We had friends staying down the road and that hotel was great.

Swam on Saturday afternoon, suits were still wet Monday morning. The fan in the bathroom is for noise purpose only. We planned on reusing shower towels, not an option, as they had not dried at all. I grew up in the area and am fully aware of the outdoor humidity levels, the air conditioner was not working properly in many rooms. The pool needs attention. The breakfast was great.

Affordable and safe place to stay.

We stayed here one night, as had stayed here before on trips to NE Iowa & was an easy, accessible location in relationship to our planned activities in Cedar Falls.
There is no elevator in this motel... so tromping UP the stairs wasn't fun with a lot of luggage. Easy going down, though! 😊
My main issue is poor ventilation... at this motel and also one in Grundy Center. The rooms were damp with moisture/ poor ventilation from showers and also possibly the high outdoor humidity (not a fault of the motel, I know!)... but literally the carpet was soggy underfoot if your feet were bare, despite the AC being on.

We had stayed earlier in the trip at a DMoines motel.. and they place a dehumdifier in EVERY room to combat this summer problem (besides AC).

But, this motel, as said earlier is in an excellent location for access to the main highways.. it IS affordable , one does feel safe at it, the breakfast offered was good , the bed & shower were good! My only big criticism is the lack of ventilation/ high humidity problem in the room/ hallways, etc..... these easily lead to moldy conditions.
